WallyFacio-
My heartfelt condolences to you. It is so sad to go thru what you are
going thru now. I wish you peace within yourself and know that you have many
CLOSE friends on the list that love you and appreciate your friendship.
Hopefully your time for healing will be short and soon you will be a wiser
man with a few more scars from your journey, but happy again with someone
that will make you VERY happy. And if that can't be then maybe lots of very
hot one nighters to help you forget. Best to you.
